Really tasted much more like an English dry stout than an American stout (and, to be fair, neither the board nor the menu called it an American stout). It was actually eerily close to Guinness--closer even than, say, Murphy's. I've had Guinness, oh, maybe 100 times, and if you had told me this was Guinness I would have believed you.

The nose is mostly nitrogen but some English hops begin to present themselves as the beer warms. Tastes medium bitter, exceptionally creamy body. Quite drinkable.
